I'd like to check you for ticks....

I must admit, Brad Paisley makes the whole tick thing sound a lot more glamorous then it really is.  I have grown up in Southern California (most of my life about a mile from the beach) and I couldn't pick a tick out of a line-up.  Who knew ticks even lived here?! Well I didn't until we discovered a tick on our poor Chesney puppy.  Let me just tell you, if you have never seen an engorged tick before, you should go buy a lotto ticket because you are so lucky! Finding that "thing" was one of the nastiest things I have ever seen, in fact I am getting chills just thinking about it! Anyways, Friday night the "thing" was discovered on our family outing to g-spoon (yum!).  So I spent the majority of the weekend cleaning every inch of our house and putting million dollar tick repellant on our puppy.  Well it wasn't actually a million dollars, but it was enough to throw off our budget this month (that's what the emergency fund is for, right?!).  Besides scrubbing the house down, we also did some pretty fun things this weekend:

Our school officially broke ground on our new campus. Yay!



We went to one of my favorite places on Earth, Bates Nut Farm!


We were "those"people, taking pictures of our dog.



Annndddd we were tee-peed for the first time.  Does this make us official homeowners?!


We actually found out via f-book! The husband woke me up at the crack of dawn on Saturday to show me a post of his girl's soccer team rocking out to some song at a sleepover.  In my mind, I am thinking so cute, but much cuter in say, two hours?! Then he scrolls down and I see an album titled "Is this your house?!" (which it was...) and the house is literally covered in toilet paper! Let's just say I was awake after that!  When I told some of my students the story today they said it meant we were really popular.  Well duh! :) Enjoy the rest of your Monday and gooooo Chargers!
